Organigram, the Moncton based medical marijuana producer, is expecting a big turnout for its upcoming job fair in October.

They say there will likely be no shortage of applicants for the more than 150 jobs up for grabs.

“What we will be looking for is primarily productions and cultivation jobs. But also a lot of administrative supports such as HR, Finance, IT, marketing, client service” said Ray Gracewood, Chief Commercial Officer at Organigram.

The job fair is being held on October 21st in Moncton at a location soon to be determined. Gracewood says they are planning for a big crowd since the company is preparing to double its workforce by the end of next year; from about 110 employees to more than 250.

By the end of this year he says a $60-million expansion will be complete and the company will have tripled the size of its plant — all in preparation for next year when pot is legal in Canada.

“We’ve actually got two other buildings that we will be expanding to beyond 2017,” said Gracewood.

But the business of marijuana isn’t looking so rosy for the consumer.

Industry experts say Canada’s licenced producers won’t be able to come close to meeting demand for recreational reefer, with Canadians expected to buy 650,000 kilograms of weed a year.

Earlier this month, the province signed a deal with both Organigram and Canopy Growth to supply a million grams of marijuana a year for sale in the province and Sarah Bustard, acting communications officer for the New Brunswick Department of Finance, confirmed the province is scouting for even more product.

“This will ensure there is a safe and secure supply of recreational cannabis when it becomes legal in July 2018. We also continue to have conversations with other suppliers,” Bustard wrote in an email.

Gracewood says Organigram is negotiating to supply cannabis to other provinces.

What is a Sativa?

Sativa strains of medicinal marijuana are usually uplifting and stimulating. If you’ve ever smoked or ingested cannabis that makes everything funny and puts you in a great mood, it was probably from a Sativa strain. It creates a feeling of comfort, non-drowsy, and usually introspective highs. The effects of smoking or ingesting a Sativa makes them particularly popular among artists and creatives. The most popular medicinal benefits range from treating mental and behavioral problems, to treating depression, stress and ADHD.

What is an Indica?

The major difference between Sativa’s and Indica’s is while a Sativa can make you feel alert, active, and aware, an Indica will have a relaxing feel on the body. The physical effects of an Indica strain commonly include a drowsy and mellow mood with stress and pain relief. Indica’s are one of the more suggested strains when using it for medicinal purposes as it effectively treats sleeping disorders such as insomnia, fibromyalgia, body aches and pains. Indica’s are also commonly used for treating Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Fibromyalgia and Lupus

Why Choose Hybrid?

The benefits to smoking or ingesting a Hybrid strain are simply as follows. Hybrid’s offer the best of both worlds combining several qualities of each containing strain. Some Hybrid’s are Indica dominant, which will offer pain relief and / or mellow mood, however may contain up to 50% Sativa so it will not make you too drowsy. Other’s may offer a Sativa dominant strain, which will encompass several calming benefits and pain relief, but also give a mellow, yet energetic high.
